A mother has been accused of locking up and torturing her 13-year-old daughter over alleged witchcraft and demonic possession in Oron, Akwa Ibom State.
According to Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) the child identified as Mercy Effiong, was locked up in a dark toilet by her mother after their church prophet claimed that she was possessed by a demon
It was gathered that Mercy who was deprived of food and hardly given the needed nutrition, ended up eating her own faeces at some point to survive.
#13YearsOldGirl Locked Up in The Toilet
This is Mercy Effiong, a 13 years old girl who was locked up in a toilet and a dark, isolated room for years before she was rescued to the CRARN Children Centre, Eket, Nigeria.
The mother tortured and neglected her as results of a spurious claim by her church prophet that she was possessed by demon. She was deprived of foods and hardly given the needed nutrition to survive. She ended up eating her own faeces at some points to survive.
Consequent upon this, Mercy suffered from malnutrition and became badly emaciated and almost died before her rescue.
The cruel manner which children like this are treated is unheard of, unimaginable and pathetic.
Mercy is from Oron, Akwa Ibom State, the epicenter of children stigmatization. She’s one of few lucky children who have survived this horrific treatment.

Ah
This is sad

Haba

Why is it that this Akwa Ibom people seem to be very superstitious?

Is every little creature a witch down there?

What annoys me most is the fact that pastors are leveraging on the ignorance of their members.

How can an innocent child be locked up for being a witch?

People have to wake up and take responsibility for their actions and not blame it on witches. Where in the bible was it hinted, even slightly, that your problems in life are as a result of a witch?

That's why I don't totally condemn people like Daddy Freeze. At least he has created a bit of awakening to all the wrongs currently going on.

PS: The girl should never be shown this pictures ever again; it's too traumatic, even for me.

Some of this Akwa-Ibomites are religious bigots, and the 'So called Pastors" are cashing on this idiocy.

Too bad.
